I'd do a few changes namely Sterling, Shaw and one of Rice/Phillips. It's too slow.
Too many groups
All those shit teams
England
VAR
Taz's predictions
Nothing. International tournaments are the best.

Souness is looking well.
I'm a twit
Not necessarily blaming him, but this set up obviously doesn’t help him at all. We’re creating nothing.
It’s not Graeme Souness’ fault, mate.

I thought that. The guy looks like he’s winning in life.Originally Posted by Baz
Get Sancho and Grealish on.
Put some tape on them lad.
I thought Dykes had scored there.
Fair play to Reece James.
Think it was going wide actually.
Sterling staying on
We are so bad.
To think we were having a conversation only two weeks about about whether we could win this. :Harold:
This is exactly the sort of uncoached wank United specialise in.
This is like watching Arsenal, everythings solid enough but there's no-one to carry or move the ball through midfield.
Southgate's selections are just appalling. There's definitely a side you could put out which would compete for the tournament.
It's not Football Manager.
It's just 11 players playing their own game.
Wasn't James the only one in the "England can win camp"?We are so bad.

Scotland are really well set up. Steve Clarke’s a good manager, Albion sacking him was the beginning of the end.
I’m really not sure how you’d break this down outside of getting Calvert Lewin on and bombing some crosses in to Tierneys area.
England definitely could win, but they’ve been utter shit today. Much of the blame has to go to Southgate here. Unless this is his way of masterminding a second place finish.
A lot of our predictability comes from Rice and Phillips both being quite 'simple' players in midfield - they could do with a Paul Ince or someone like that to carry the ball from one place to another.
I’ll freely admit I haven’t watched a lot but so far the Foden wank fest seems incredibly overhyped. He’s good but I thought he’d look like a young Fabregas by the tall.
I think stop playing with two defensive midfielders might be a start.
England will get absolutely mauled by the first big team they meet.
I thought he has been our tidiest player in the final third. Sterling and Kane looked lost.
Sterling still on the pitch and Rashford coming on ahead of DCL to play at striker
The same cowardly/obvious selections as Ole Gunnar Binman as well.
Clear penalty kick.
That's a penalty.
None of our forward players have looked sharp but I think it's as simple as having no service. Who is meant to be feeding them? Rice and Phillips aren't creative midfielders and our Wingbacks... well.
That’s never a penalty and Sterling should be ashamed of himself with that scream.
No penalty for me but I thought VAR would give it.
He didn't give it because Sterling went down like a fanny, but it was still a pen.
He quite clearly stands on his foot, no? How is that not a penalty?
I’m hoping Scotland score just to increase the probability of a Yevrage tonight.
No it wasn’t. It’s a contact game. He did nothing to inhibit Sterling playing.
It's one of those where either decision seems "reasonable" to me.
If Sterling had been trying to play the ball with the non stepped on foot then I’d see the argument but he didn’t.
Mon a late Scotland goal.
+1 for the no penalty crew.
On the full backs is Chilwell dead? Also Mings is fucking useless, him against Mbappe would be a laugh.
Zero urgency whatsoever.
It feels like the gameplan since he came on is "give Grealish the ball and hope for the best".
Mings is the first player I’ve seen in time that looks massive in comparison to his peers. I can imagine seeing him up close the upsides are hard to ignore.
0-0 is a perfectly fine result. The Czechs are shit and a draw against them would have us go through first place.Zero urgency whatsoever.
Ideal play for second in the group tbh, just need another one of these abhorrent performances for a 0-0 vs Czech and it's coming home. Only slight problem is when Spain finish 2nd too.
This is not a million miles away from the game against Algeria I think. Utterly appalling.
Kane looks absolutely pointless. Calvert Lewin with Sancho and Saka against the Czechs please.
A draw means the Czechs are first on goal difference?
This Scotland are a lot better than that Algeria team.
Ah, thought it was head to head.
It is head to head first but you will have drawn with them.
